Girl Scouts to Sell Cookies Online – New Way to Byte Into Thin Mints

The Girl Scouts of America are now cleared to sell their coveted cookies digitally. But only if their councils and guardians say it's okay.

The new high tech move by the Girl Scouts is not meant to replace, but enhance already strong cookie sales. In other words, you will still have the cute smiling faces on your doorstep with a shiny red wagon, but you will also have the opportunity to buy them directly online.

Girls Scouts can even build, design, and personalize a website. For security reasons, the personalized websites will not be accessible without an email invitation. They can also put up videos explaining who they are and what they plan to do with their proceeds. Or, the girls may have a mobile app that includes credit card processing and direct shipping.
